Journals of William Jefferson HearinTranscribed by Art Green

The first journal was found in personal Hearin family papers in Mobile, Alabama, in June 2012. It is well preserved, black leather bound and measures 3 inches by 6 inches when folded. The second journal was found in the fall of 2012 again among family papers. It measures 3 inches by 4 ¾ inches folded. I have attempted to accurately transcribe these well-written journals. Spelling and punctuation are his. Pages are numbered at the top as original. Note that in the original script of the day “ss” was written as “fs” so that mess appears mefs. I have added comments contained in brackets [] where additional data is known, individuals are known or comments are called for. He numbers his pages top center and this serves as page breaks.Transcriptions are available from Art Green for $15.00.
